It should be noted that the term I have been using – contagious sociopathy – is not mutually exclusive from what we have been observing with the perversion of Christian thought to suit sociopathic behaviors and the rise of fascism in the U.S. (Ruth Ben-Ghiat has written extensively on the latter). …
The bolded link goes to a Pew Research page and looks like it will take me more time than I’m willing to spend digesting it. It occurred to me that sociopath or perhaps psychopath is an accurate psychological description of the god described in the old testament but not necessarily the new. Can anyone explain in a few words what is meant by “perversion of Christian thought”?

Christofacism. Really you can look at the Westboro baptist church for how emphasis on their duty to a fallen society over gods love looks.
If it makes it into a congregation the reasonable people leave, and the rest radicalize further.
Thanks!
